OPINION: God has been taken out of everything, and wrong is right

What happened to Jesus? Easter is the final chapter of "the Christmas story" and, yet, Easter came and no Jesus was found on TV, in our town anyway.

What Jesus suffered on Good Friday, the Jewish Passover, was, in today's standards, inhumane.

If Jesus offends, what will hell do? What has hell done for any of us? However, without Jesus, hell is surely where we will be. Everything offends someone. I am offended because I love Jesus. He did for me what no man can or would do. He died that I may live. He has kept me from the eternal damnation of an eternal death of pain and suffering that never ends.

If we, as "God's called, His children," do not stand up for what we know and believe, who are we? Soon, there will be no church. We are in the end times for sure.

What God stands for is offensive, and what God is against is what the people stand for. Wrong is right, and right is wrong.

God has been taken out of everything. Take a good look at where we as a nation stand today. God is out and everything is going wrong.

What happened to the one person our country was founded and grounded on? "In God We Trust" or do we? Put God back where He belongs as the head of our nation, our schools, homes and hearts before it is too late. It is now or never.
